What the fund is about: The Building Healthy and Sustainable Communities fund supports and develops community initiatives in areas where there are poorer healthcare outcomes. For this 3-year funding, the specific area was Wakefield City Centre including Portobello, Belle Vue and Agbrigg. Grants were available for VCSE work that improves health and wellbeing, connects with communities and reduces health inequalities. Funding was awarded to organisations well placed to support those most likely to experience health inequalities.
Grants are available for small to medium-sized charities registered and working in the UK that defend human rights and promote respect for vulnerable individuals.
Funding is available to VCSE organisations to explore ideas to improve health, wellbeing, or community services through research - with interest in exploring the intersection of mental health & health inequalities.
Grant funding of up to £10,250 is available for eligible community and voluntary organisations to set up and deliver the DofE, as well as the enrolment costs for young people taking part.
